Building a hopper with auger

I have an idea but need help of someone who can weld together a custom sided hopper with an auger. The project is customised & I am willing to pay as we build out my project.

I could possibly help. How large of a project are you looking to make?

I would call it a small to mid sized project.

What is it going to be used for? Do you have any pictures I could see or look up so I can get a better idea of what your looking for?

It might also be useful to provide actual rough dimensions. How large is large? 2 feet, 20 feet?

Hi Andrew, should be a 4’x 3’ hopper. With a 10” auger that would have a 10”x1”(or 2”) opening at the bottom to fill a 10”x20”x1” tray with a grow medium (not soil).
I’m a Microgreens grower. My main clients are restaurants & Private chefs.

Im not sure how we could fabricate an auger that big. You might find companies that make augers that you could adapt, if its handling food it would need to be stainless. You need drawings so people can understand what you want to make.

Hi Andrew,do let me know if you’re interested in helping build the hopper with the auger

Given the size and my limited knowledge of the media, you may with to consider a brewery grain transport auger.
